Génesis 44:33 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 44:33

Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of
the lad a bondman to my lord
Being, as Jarchi observes preferable to Benjamin for strength, for war, and for service: in this Judah was a type of Christ, from whose tribe he sprung, who became the surety of God's Benjamins, his children who are beloved by him, and as dear to him as his right hand, and put himself in their legal place and stead, and became sin and a curse for them, that they might go free, as Judah desired his brother Benjamin might, as follows: and let the lad go up with his brethren;
from Egypt to Canaan's land, to their father there.

Génesis 44:33 In-Context

31 seguramente mi padre, al no verlo, morirá, y nosotros seremos los culpables de que nuestro padre se muera de tristeza.

32 Este siervo suyo quedó ante mi padre como responsable del joven. Le dije: “Si no te lo devuelvo, padre mío, seré culpable ante ti toda mi vida”.

33 Por eso, permita usted que yo me quede como esclavo suyo en lugar de mi hermano menor, y que él regrese con sus hermanos.

34 ¿Cómo podré volver junto a mi padre si mi hermano menor no está conmigo? ¡No soy capaz de ver la desgracia que le sobrevendrá a mi padre!
